Career
Montgomery began his career with the Class A- Staten Island Yankees of the New YorkâPenn League in 2011 where he pitched four games before being promoted to the Class A Charleston Riverdogs for the rest of the year. Between the two teams, he had a 1.91 ERA, 51 strikeouts, 13 walks, and 15 saves in 26 games with 28.1 innings pitched, with no win-loss record.
The next year, Montgomery pitched for the Yankees' A+ and AA teams, the Tampa Yankees and Trenton Thunder. He went 7-2 with a stellar 1.54 ERA in 46 games/64.1 innings pitched with 99 strikeouts, 22 walks, and 15 saves once again.
In 2013, Montgomery started the year with the AAA club of the Yankees, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Besides a four-game stint with the GCL Yankees, he spent the whole season with the RailRiders. For the season, his ERA regressed slightly from his first two years, settling at a still-respectable 3.38 in 29 games (four of which were starts with the GCL Yankees) and 45.1 innings pitched to go along with his 59 strikeouts, 25 walks, and 2-3 record.
Montgomery's 2014 season was split between Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with 17 appearances in AA and 22 in AAA. For the season between the two teams, he held a 2-1 record, 2.10 ERA (including a microscopic 0.81 for Trenton), 51 strikeouts, 26 walks, and 4 saves in 51.1 innings pitched.
